Pankaj Kapoor’s Take
As a writer and big sports fan, this event wasn’t just a local gathering—it was a place full of talent ready to shine on the national level. The good things? Great skill all around, team competition making things more interesting, and young players handling pressure like pros.
The bad things? Sector 42 is a bit better, which could show that some clubs are not training equally. Competitions like these are very important for the future of Indian boxing. Today’s young fighters are the future Olympic champions—so keep your gloves on and stay alert.
